Hanwha will play three consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome from the 9th.
He won the match against the Samsung Lions in Daejeon on the 7th and won nine consecutive games in 20 years.
During the winning streak, Hanwha was able to proceed with the game a little easier thanks to the weather. KBO organized the game to make nine consecutive games as Children's Day became Monday on the 5th.
In consideration of the pitcher's rest, temporary starters are required or existing starters have to take the mound after a four-day break. Hanwha was lucky. The match between the Daejeon LG Twins on the 1st and the KIA Tigers on the 3rd was canceled due to rain.
With two days off, Hanwha was able to operate the starting rotation more fluidly. At the same time, as the close game continued, the must-win group also took a break. In the end, he played a total of seven games in nine consecutive games and won all of them, awakening his memory of winning consecutive games for the first time in 20 years.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon also said, `Actually, I was a little worried, but the weather helped me a lot. It turned out better than expected."

If you laughed from the rain in the last nine consecutive games, you can smile away from the rain this time.
There is a rain forecast in Seoul, Incheon, Suwon and Daegu, where games will be held on the 9th, from afternoon to late at night. According to the forecast, it is difficult for the game to be held.
It's not just a one-game cancellation. KBO has decided to implement a doubleheader if Friday and Saturday games are canceled from the 18th of last month to the 31st. A doubleheader will be held on Saturday if Friday's game is canceled, and on Sunday if Saturday's game is canceled.
Hanwha will first play at Gocheok Dome to avoid the rain. Many players often complain of more than twice the fatigue if they proceed with a doubleheader. In addition, there are many factors to consider, from the order of starting pitchers to the operation of the starting lineup. Although the game was all-out in the first game, there is also a risk that if the game is lost, it could lead to consecutive losses in an instant.
There is no law that a doubleheader leads to defeat. Depending on the situation, it may be advantageous. However, it is good to be able to prepare for the game without worrying under the forecast of rain. Hanwha and Kiwoom just have to face the game in the right order.
On the 9th, Hanwha announced its starting pitcher Um Sang-baek. Ha Young-min will start Kiwoom.
